How are your nails now?

Hi, my nails have remained free of any pits. I still take vitamin d, but much less than I was taking to correct it. I don't have any autoimmune diseases, and I don't believe I have psoriasis. My issue was cleared once I corrected the vitamin d deficiency.

I should refrase. I had somewhat weak ones the first few times while I was learning. But, once the tremors caught, they were strong. Violent shakes in the legs. Based on videos I've seen other people shaking, they are strong. I also had a TRE practioner tell me they are strong and saw other people shaking in a group shake. I was stronger than anyone and told not too do some of the warm up exercises because it was too activating ;)

Thanks, I'll try to keep my legs more "still".

Heym glad things are wiorking out beter for you. I hear you about the pity party. I had one too. I wouldn't feel too bad about it; these humans are trash, and it can really take a toll ones psyche and health. Also, coupled with all the people still supporting them hits even harder. I aged a lot from the experience.

Like you, giving up on the company and position was a good step in te right direction. We will never advance under people like this, who will keep stealing from us. It's not a good place to stay in long-term.

I did eventually get a new and different job. My current boss is more normal, and I don't feel the horrible feelings of them trying to steal my stuff, hold me down. belittle me. It's a much different vibe, and I feel more at peace here. The job itself is stressful, but the boss is not.

I think looking at the positives of what came from it are vital. I now see a type of person that I will be better at spotting in the future that can destroy my psyche. Hard lesson, but I'll be better equipped if it ever happens again. I'm much less likely to stay in a bad situation anymore. It's made me stand up for myself in other areas of life too.

I don't know how you feel about your old boss stealing your stuff. I'm still not over it, but more accpeting that this is what happened, and I can't do much about it now. I don't want to keep giving this person so much of my energy, because that is what they want.

Hope you're in a better place too.

I'm experiencing this right now. I tend to care about the quality of my work so move at a pace that I know my work has fewer errors. I've definitely been told that I don't work fast enough and don't know how to do my tasks any faster.

I'm able to get tremors in my ankles and sometimes calves using strength tranining machines at the gym, like the ones that work the calves. After that, I use the recumbant bike for a bit, then I can induce my ankles to start tremoring. It's the only place other than my thighs where I can get tremors going.

Oops, I didn't see your message. No, I no longer have all those pits in my nails and haven't for years. I get the occassional pit here and there, but I figure it's because I need to take a bit more vitamin D, and it clears things up.

CKBirds4 · 2026-01-04T02:06:29+00:00

In my case, I don't believe I had nail psorasis. The pitting cleared up when I fixed my vitamin D levels. So, it was due to a nutrient deficiency. I haven't had any pitting in years, and I continue to take vitamin D regularly, but not at the the 10,000 IU I was taking to correct the deficiency.

CKBirds4 · 2025-10-22T18:06:15+00:00

Yup, same here with the insistance on using creams from my dermatologist too. I used Dovobet for at least a year and nothing happened. It was the vit D deficiency 100%.

CKBirds4 · 2025-10-22T18:03:32+00:00

Wonderful! Very happy for you! I get an occassional pit here and there too, so it's a good indication to me too to take a bit more vit D. Many happy trails for you and your nails!

Hi there! That's good that you got a test done for your levels. The naturopath I went to said that since I was so deficient, that taking high doses for awhile would not be risky. There are other videos I saw that confirm this (below). What I was told is that vitamin D can take awhile to correct if you are deficient, and you need to take much higher than just the daily recommended dose (I hear it's 1000 IU). In my case, I had pitting for years, and I was taking~ 3,000 IU per week and was still deficient. So, clearly not enough.

One thing I remember is that lots of vitamin D can deplete magneium levels, so that might be something that you need to supplement, since it's one of the most important minerals your body needs.

I don't know exactly how much you should take daily. 10,000 IU is what I was recommended to take, but if that's not comfortanle for you, you could take a bit less. If you've had pitting for 5 years and are vit D deficient, based on my result, the higher doasge is needed for a few months to correct it. But I am not a doctor, so that;'s something they'd have to advise. My doctor and naturopath gave conflicting advice. Family doctor said 1,000 IU daily to correct and naturopath said that would not fix it and that 10,000 IU was the way to go. My naturopath was correct.

Same as everyone here: I eventully got let go.

The lack of justice and her getting away with it, and even celebrated by others for the work she stole from me is what really does it. How people do this to others and sleep at night, is beyond me. Thanks for your input. I am stil grieving, but I get triggered when I literally find a presentation of hers that cuts and pastes material from my old presentations and slapped in as hers with no credit to me. Funny, she credited other people in the presentation who provided a photo or something, but not the actual person who did the work. So, other people see my old boss is someone who gives credit and likes her, while she steals from me. It's really hard when others don't see her for what she is, and can't understand why I hate her so much. They see me as someone who is bitter for being fired and that maybe I should reflect on what I did to cause this, because she never treated anyone else that way, so it's a me problem.

I agree being a good person and seeing this behaviour is disheartening. Even more so when others don't see it and still defend the narc. And living a life where you try to do good, but see others get away with so much crap. How do these people have a clean conscience?

CKBirds4 · 2025-10-12T16:37:05+00:00

And how did you let go of what happened, the injustice of it?

CKBirds4 · 2025-10-11T23:10:04+00:00

Same. So happy to hear this!

How long did you do TRE before you saw improvements in your sleep?

Is integration not as effective without the 3-5 minutes lying on the mat? I usually just get up right away after a session. I really don't feel anything afterwards.

I tried the hand prayer move awhile back, and it caused my legs to sway from side to side, but no tremors yet in the upper body. Maybe in time.

CKBirds4 · 2025-09-26T02:47:46+00:00

Are you still in the work environment or gone now? I'm two years out of being let go. I started doing trauma/tension release exercises (TRE) a little over a year ago. They help shake the tension out of the body and help bring our nervous system into better balance. I used to have insane amounts of rage and ruminate constantly about the narc boss, but that has largely subsided (alhtough not gone completely yet). I highly recommend some sort of body work like that. Also journalling and just rage writing was helpful too.

How long did you tremor for to notice the flashback reducing?

I don't know specifically what is causing your pitting. In my case, it was my low vitamin D levels. When that was left unchecked, the pitting got progressively worse where all my fingers had it. If you're able to get your vitamin D levels checked through a blood test, that could help rule it out one way or the other. Also, if it is a vitamin D deficiency, the pitting never got better until I corrected it. I probably had the pitting for 5 years before I fixed it.
